Fayetteville police seek help finding phony fire marshal

Site Search

Fayetteville, N.C. — A man posing as a fire marshal has stolen items from several Fayetteville businesses while conducting "inspections," police said Monday.

Police didn't disclose the names or locations of the businesses that had been targeted, noting only that a Rolex watch was among the items taken.

Anyone who has information about the man's identity or the thefts is asked to call the Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1856.
